    As far as I remember, some of these Words have the potential to get you a lot of Points if any of the Tiles end up on either a Double Word Score Space or a Triple Word Score Space.

    Hmm, this is interesting. I have been wondering about moving words down to lower cardboxes because I forget them because they are too easy to quiz.

    Hey Kenji, so recently I got to 10k on the sevens. However, I was going back over them to review them since when going thru them the second time, I usually get 50-60% of them correct. However, in this video, I know you cautioned against reviewing. My question is that isn't it better to master the top 10k sevens rather than do the other 15k sevens? Especially since the top 10k will come up more because of probability than the other 15k.

      A loss of retention of bingos, even after just finishing them, is normal, although I'd rather see a number like 65-75% rather than 50-60% after just finishing the subset. You might consider taking a few extra seconds when encountering a new word to really focus on engraining it into your head, whether it's by writing it down or saying it in your head.
      It's better to learn words rather than master a small subset for several reasons:
      1. There's always going to be a rate at which you will forget words. Even I have to review words from time to time and I've gone through them 10 or more times at this point. If you ever master the top 10k cold, you'll just have to review them again in a few years anyway.
      2. Low probability words are still very useful because they are less likely to form 8s and are less likely to keep leaves that will bingo next turn. If you miss EOSINES, you're likely going to bingo again soon and you might have an 8 available, and if a blank is involved there's definitely another 7, but if you miss WAYLAID, which is lower probability, that's devastating, since in addition to scoring more points immediately, you're likely not going to bingo any time soon, there's few 7s even with blanks, and there's no 8s with those tiles at all. Because of that, learning WAYLAID is as useful (maybe even more useful!) than learning EOSINES. Also, you'll be more successful during challenges and will have a better idea what to challenge if you expose yourself to as many words as possible even without knowing the words cold.
      3. If you start reviewing the top 10k, there's an opportunity cost. Let's say that you review the top 10k 5 times and amazingly get from 60% to 100% That's learning 4000 words. If you instead learn the rest of the bingos (50k words) and go from 30% to 50%, you've just learned 10,000 words. If you want to learn all the words, you have to move on eventually, and it's better to move on sooner rather than later.
      4. Most people find it way more fun to learn words than review words anyway. When you learn new words, your progress is easily benchmarked, whereas when reviewing, it's hard to see the improvement. It's also harder for people to motivate themselves to review words they've already seen several times before.
      Good luck!

    In which website do you use to learn anagrams?

      Download a programme called Zyzzyva, alternatively Aerolith.org/wordwalls is good for practicing anagrams and learning words too.
